NHL governors fail to reach consensus on new schedule, playoff format
PALM BEACH, Fla. (CP) - The NHL's board of governors has decided not to change the league's unbalanced schedule or playoff format. Anaheim Ducks executive Brian Burke told reporters that the board was unable to reach a consensus on either issue. Many Western Conference teams had sought a change to the unbalanced schedule to have more games against the Eastern teams and young stars like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin.
A change to the playoff format was also discussed.
The board looked at going to a bracketed format similar to the NCAA basketball tournament but the necessary two-thirds majority could not be reached on that issue either.
